TJGT - Stonebriar Fazio Course

Boys 15 - 18

2013Stonebriar.JPG

 Even though it was the first of January - this was our first tournament that had to deal with real winter temperatures. The kids had their first frost delay but eventually the sun came out and it wasn't too windy. Other than that - Kyle continues to work on the longer distances and enjoyed teeing it up with the older boys. Everyone he's played with have been extremely supportive and just great competitors.   The last event before going back to school after the Christmas holidays.

Brookhaven CC - Championship Course

It's Kyle's first NTPGA event since last summer.  In 2012, he played in the Boys 13-14 division, but since rejoining the TJGT tour in the Boys 15-18 group, it only made sense to play the same age division in any event he tees up in.  The All-American Tour series for the NTPGA is has 2-day events year round and kicked off 2013 at Brookhaven CC.  As it's been all this winter, the weather has been predictably unpredictable and the conditions for Round 1 have been very different from the conditions of Round 2.  No frost delays, and thankfully no rain.  Kyle was able to tie for 8th and it was great to meet new golfers as well as catch up with old friends.

Mirroring the conditions of the PGA - Weather played a big part in this annual NTPGA event - the All-American Tour Azalea Trail Classic.  Stormy - cold - weather delays along with severe lightning strikes.  The kids were bundled up and seeking shelter around the firepit.

The sun was shining and the wind was blowing - as Kyle continued to compete in the Boys 15-18 division for the NTPGA's All-American Tour.  Though he was still a month away from his 13th birthday, he was accumulating points in order to qualify for the Tour Championship in November.  Only the top 9 would be eligible.  Kyle had his best finish yet - he was tied for 4th - just 3 shots off the lead.  Kyle was definitely holding his own against the older boys.

HP Byron Nelson Junior Championship

Lakewood CC

Boys 15 - 18

2013BNJr.JPG

Just one month after his 13th birthday, Kyle was invited to play in this elite junior event held at the beautiful Lakewood CC.  The site had been hit hard by a hailstorm in 2012 but had been completely restored and even hosted a qualifier for the US Open.  There were 78 entrants and Kyle's opening 75 had him tied for 25th.  Shooting an 81 in round 2 left him just 3 shots below the cut line but it was a great experience and Kyle will have more opportunities to compete in this annual event.

Kyle went to the White Bluff Resort and played in the NTPGA All-American Tour's War at the Shore.  The weather was fantastic and it's always good to play at a new venue. The points he earned put him in 8th place for the Golf Galaxy Point Challenge.  There is one more event to decide the Top 9 players to be invited to the Tour Championship in November.

Fall Classic

Boys 15 - 18

bridgesFallClassic2013.JPG

The All-American Tour's final event before the tour championship was held at the Fred Couples Designed course - The Bridges in Gunter, Texas.  Kyle knew that he had a good chance of qualifying for it with a solid performance here.  And boy did he deliver.  He finished in a tie for second with 18 year old Sean Badger and received the 3rd place trophy.  It was his first time to make it to the top 3 after three previous fourth place finishes.  The 175 points he earned vaulted him up to the 5th place slot in the final standings for the Golf Galaxy Points Challenge out of the 290 boys in the 15 - 18 division. 

He will play the Tour Championship in November at TPC Four Seasons - the current home of the PGA's Byron Nelson Championship.
